Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:11):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
It's cold as ice. I will in the pay the prison. No,
you guys like that. It was me singing. But if
you're listening to this, you know how cold it was
out there. And then some you know, we take care
of you here. We follow everything. And I was in
the midst of it this weekend and it was the
opposite of hell. Now it's time for the chat. Action

(00:36):
News Weather reports when weather Weather's we weather the storm
storm was insane, still going through it all over the country.
Some are digging out, some are still dealing with it.
Some well tragedy unfortunately.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
The dangerous striving conditions stretching some two thousand miles highways
coated with layers of ice. Drivers in Dallas along the
Woodall Rogers Freeway stranded after the Lakers Mavericks game. North
of Dallas, a fourteen inch water main bursting, flooding streets
and forcing officials to shut off water to Holmes.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
Yes, so we didn't have that. But out here in Nashville,
you know, we did have UH power outages. Freezing, freezing cold.
Currently it is three degrees outside. So I was without
power for about twenty hours over from Saturday late evening

(01:36):
all the way through uh and it was it sucked. Man.
Our house was freezing. There was a time Charlie and
I were stuck it up on the couch. It's probably
fifty degrees in our apartment and it was Oh damn,
it was cold. It was cold. Now, question what's it

(01:58):
gonna look like for the coming days. In some areas
it is going to be ugly still in some areas
they're expecting more sleet, some more snow and that freezing rain,
which is the snow. Didn't do anything on Saturday morning, right,

(02:20):
it was nice to do anything. It was neat to
look at. The kids loved it. It was the sleet
and ice that came within the freezing weather that changed everything.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
In Louisiana, the frigid weather turning deadly. Two men died
due to hypothermia in New York City. At least six
deaths are linked to the conditions. Parts of the Northeast
seeing the highest snowfall in four years. Parts of Massachusetts
bracing for up to two feet of snow. A woman
near Boston was killed after a snowplow backed into her.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Which is awful. There'll probably be more deaths that they'll
find out in the coming days, which is unfortunate. Again,
cold kills quicker than heat, but accidents sledding accent. There
were several incidents that took place. Now it's moving forward
and how long is this going to be? Here's where's
it heading next now.

Speaker 5 (03:09):
In terms of the timing, we're gonna leave the freezing
rain off of the Middle Lana Coast by evening. It's
gonna be winding down in New York City, left over
light snows, but it's going much to the night upstate
New York into New England. So for additional snowfall totals,
we might put down a couple of inches in New
York City, but it's mostly I ninety and especially eastern
New England, we could put down more than a foot
of snow. Incredible snows.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
A long term cleanup, long term cleanup in several areas.
Long term we are. We're doing better today, but I'm
not gonna lie to you. There was there was some issues.
There was some issues here, and we're still without power
in a lot of areas. We got lucky, came on
that it went off, and it came on that it

(03:49):
went off, and it finally came on people dine, we're
time to come on. I'm all fourth quarter of the
Denver game. Once we'll get to an event. Saw the
other game as well, and we'll get to that in
a bit. But it was it's cold af and you
want to tell everybody you just don't eat. We're not
built for this right here in the South, We're not built.

(04:11):
We get snowstorms, right, it's not uncommon we get rain.
This isn't our jam though.

Speaker 6 (04:17):
This isn't snowstorm or eye storm for us, is very
different than a hurricane or a storms that we're used
to here. It takes longer for us to resolve problems
out in the field. Our crews aren't used to working
in these kind of conditions.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
I was talking to a couple of people locally here
who run the power companies, say, you know the difference
between this storm and storms that come. You know, this
hits in such a large swath. This one hit that
it caused all of the crews across all the states

(04:52):
to be busy at the same time, as opposed to
you know, normally, if you get a big you know,
if there's a hurricane, any of the Carolinas or Florida.
People in you know, Tennessee and Georgia if they need to.
In several other places, especially the linemen and stuff, theyn
get down there. But when you had this, they weren't
going anywhere because they were busy in their own state.

(05:15):
So nightmare will be following this obviously, because it's such
a big story, and because it's cold, and because it
affects a lot of stuff across the country. A lot
of schools are closed today, a lot of things that
are going to be closed probably for the next couple
of days. What's not closed is what happened in Minnesota. Now,

(05:37):
I'm not going to pretend that this is one of
those situations that's easily cut and dry. Do I think
that the issues happening with ice are awful one percent?
Do I think that they have overplayed their hand? Yes,

(05:59):
I think there are things that they're doing right now
that is not presenting well for them. For people inside
the administration that say Trump is not happy, he understands
the look, right he understands the look, and the look
right now is you've sent out a bunch of guys

(06:19):
who are just cracking heads, and that isn't going to
play well at voting time and what happened over the weekend.
I don't think we can pretend that that was amazing
great police work. No, it was awful.

Speaker 7 (06:41):
Ye, you're just you.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
That is a video of Alex Pretty being shot and killed.
Christy Nome addressed it immediately afterwards.

Speaker 8 (07:00):
At nine oh five am Central time, the Department of
Homeland Security law enforcement officials and officers were conducting targeted
operations in Minneapolis against an illegal alien whose criminal history
included domestic assault with intentionally inflicting bodily harm, disorderly conduct,
and driving without a valid license. An individual approached US

(07:23):
Border Patrol officers with a nine millimeter semi automatic handgun.
The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed
suspect reacted violently.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
So I don't know what she's watching. First of all,
dude was not brandishing a gun. He had his camera.
He looked to be trying to help two protesters that

(07:55):
were blowing their whistles and screaming, and they were getting
sprayed with I don't know if it's bear spray or
peppers spray or whatever. One of them got pushed down
and he looked to get involved with that. Then it
escalated from there, and there will several of them on
top of him, whooping on his ass, and one of

(08:17):
them looks to be walking away with it appears to
be the gun that they say, and then somebody screams
gun and then fire fire, boom, boom boom, and I think,
what the hell just happened? And all the while he's
screaming that they're going to kill him, that they're going
to kill him, that they're going to shoot him, and

(08:38):
I'm watching it going okay, wait, what what did I
just watch?

Speaker 1 (08:44):
There?

Speaker 2 (08:45):
A nightmare? Is what we watched? An absolute disaster, the
death of a human being that is horrific and once
again a black eye for Ice. We're going to talk
about this throughout the day, obviously because it's such a
big story. But Trump understands this is not a good look.
He gets it. He understands that this is not going well.

(09:10):
He gets it now. Whether or not it changes anytime soon,
I don't know. But he understands that this right here
is causing him problems, especially at the polls, and that's
what he cares about, trying to hold on to the
midterms and as much as possible. Let me know what

(09:34):
you think. Three two three, five, three, eight, twenty four,
twenty three at Chad Benson Show Sure Acts, your Insta,
your YouTube, Facebook and more. Meanwhile, all that's going on
and the debate that happened over the weekend, I needed
some time to relax and watch football. I didn't get
to watch but the fourth quarter of the first game

(09:57):
in what seemed to be blizzard like atmosphere. But yes,
the Pats got it done.

Speaker 9 (10:03):
May with his hands under center, drops to his knee
and that's it. The New England Patriots are back in
the Super Bowl. The Patriots win the AFC Championship, beating
the Denver Broncos ten to seven at a new era, Oh,
Patriots football is upon us.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
It was a interesting game, to say the least. I
was checking out the scores along the way on my phone.
I didn't know how long our power is going to
be out, and our battery banks were running low, and
so I tried not to use my phone to watch
any of the game. But it was interesting because I

(10:41):
didn't watch that fourth quarter. The weather was nasty. They
had a chance to tie the game. The Broncos did
and block blocked by a guy who was brought up
that day to play in the game on a seven
yard field goal and the guy. At first you're like, well,

(11:04):
the weather's so bad, he just missed it. But then
you see no, he blocked it, and you're like, oh damn.
And they're like, oh, that guy just came up. You're
like what, Yeah, he wasn't on the team till that day.
He was on the practice roster. Then the nightcap, and
the nightcap was exciting. It was high scoring. It was
the opposite of what the first game was.

Speaker 10 (11:28):
Desperation for Stafford.

Speaker 11 (11:30):
Eight seconds left, loaded up near side the pose he
had a bowl. Oh my god, three seconds he's working
on the clock.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
That's gonna do it. The say Hawks soar to Super
Bowl sixty three, two, three, five, three eight, twenty four
to twenty three. Etch Had Benson Show is your extra Insta,
your YouTube and more, a lot of stuff to get to.
Prize Picks is awesome. By the way, if you took
the max discount, which was more or less one passing
yard with Sam Darnold, you're a winner. What that's right.

(12:00):
Prize Picks is America's number one fantasy sports app. It
is incredible. You're picking more or less based on projected
stats of players, and you can do it in any sport.
So more or less Steph Curry making more than four
and a half three pointers or more or less Sam
Darnold throwing for more than one yard. That's all you
gotta do. And here check this out. You play a

Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 12 (13:11):
This is the biggest snowstorm that Philly has seen in
the last decade, the most snows so far in the
last four years. For places like New York City and
other areas. And even though the snowstorm shut down Boston
for the second day now it is not over yet.
Another two to four inches is expected to fall today
and there's a winter storm warning in place until this evening.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
Yeah. Cold, cold, freaking cold, gonna be cold for the
next few days. It ain't over.

Speaker 13 (13:37):
Kids in New York City, the mayor saying at least
six people died because of the storm as frigid temperatures
gripped the tri state up and down the East Coast,
sleet and rain, creating chaotic driving conditions. In the South,
more than a million without power as thick ice puts
pressure on power lines.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
Our power lines just have these icicles dangling from it.
In our courtyard here of our apartment, they had a big,
beautiful tree. That thing was covered in ice, and then
I come down yesterday morning and it just collapsed. It's
just like split in two. So, uh, it's gonna be

(14:19):
cold for the next several days. And people are gonna
be digging out of this. If you're listening to this,
know that chances are just gonna have some issues with
schools being closed still. And here's the other thing, especially today.
If you don't have to go out, don't. If you
don't have to do anything like that right now, don't

(14:43):
do it. It isn't worth it at all. But I
know some people try it out there, but the best
thing to do is to do nothing in this situation.
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty three
at Chad Benson Show, is your ex, your your YouTube, Facebook,
and more so now you have a Super Bowl sixth

(15:04):
He includes Seattle Seahawks, led by their second year coach
and Sam Darnold, who, after being picked third by the Jets,
having his career basically just a nightmare, traded to Carolina.
After spending some time there, goes to San Francisco, is

(15:24):
a backup rock party and him get along really well,
but he says he learned a new way to prep
and to get ready. Goes to Minnesota, where he thinks
she's going to be a backup to JJ McCarthy, who
gets injured, absolutely has the career year, gets a contract

(15:45):
in Seattle, and now leads them to the Super Bowl.
So this should be fun. I'm gonna give you guys
my pick. Obviously, the closer I get, I thought Stafford
and then would get it over the line. They did not.
Jared Stidham played Okay, it wasn't like the you know,
Drake May lit it up for the Patriots. So it's

(16:10):
gonna be an interesting super Bowl. And Trump is announced
he will not be going to the super Bowl because
of you know, Bad Bunny and Green Day because he
knows you're gonna say a bunch of crap about him.
We'll talk a little bit more about the the interesting
thing about the super Bowl in the halftime show and

(16:32):
what it's going to look like. So it's good. Yes,
Green Day is gonna say some crap. They're from San Francisco,
you know they are on the other side of it.
Bad Bunny's gonna be interesting. It's gonna wear a dress,
He's gonna do this, all the stuff they're talking about.
You're like, really, and Trump's like, I'm not gonna go.
You guys should have just got Lee Greenwood because nothing
says fun like Lee Greenwood. Oh you just don't like America. Yeah,

(16:55):
that's it. Three, two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four
to twenty three Atch Had Benson Show, Is Your act?
Sure instand your YouTube and more? A lot of stuff
to get to more on the shooting in Minneapolis. What
is it that they want to leave? There's a set
of requirements, if you will, before ICE may leave, and

(17:18):
I'm curious about what it is they want. We're going
to talk a bit about that. We've got the monks,
where are they in their walk? Among other things. This
is the Chad Benson.

Speaker 14 (17:26):
Show, then Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
My old coach used to say this, Nah, I'm just kidding.
I used to say this to him and he'd get
mad at me. Coaches, not whether we win or lose,
it's how we look doing it. And I bring that
up because that's what's going on right now in Minneapolis
and many other places. Does ICE play a role? Absolutely?

(18:27):
Do we need to get a hold of our immigration?
One percent? Should we want all the bad people out
of here? Yes? One percent? We should want them out?
And if you want them here, I don't get it.
Never gotten it why people think that the best thing
is to protect in particular bad folks, bad people, criminals.

(18:55):
This want to protect everybody as if well, if we
get rid of that person, oh my lord, then they're
going to get rid of everybody. And I bring this
up because Friday night before the shooting, Bill Maher had
John Kennedy on and of course a friend from Louisiana, hilarious,

(19:19):
and they were talking about in particular immigration, illegal immigration,
and the.

Speaker 15 (19:26):
Look John, I'm just going to say to you, I'm
not trying to pick a fight right away, but I did.
My prediction is this stuff. Your party is going to
get the dog kicked out of you in the midterms,
right on the come on, because this is not what
people voted for, and they're going to hold the party
as responsible as they should.

Speaker 16 (19:47):
Well, I'm going to give you my take on it. Bill.
You don't have to be Einstein's cousin, are a senior
at cal Tech to know that, uh, illegal immigration is illegal.

Speaker 7 (20:03):
Uh.

Speaker 16 (20:05):
Those of us who believe that no one is above
the law have to concede that folks who are in
our country illegally are not above the law either. I
support enforcing our immigration laws. Now how you enforce them.

Speaker 15 (20:22):
Matter, that's the key.

Speaker 10 (20:23):
You have to do it.

Speaker 16 (20:26):
You have to do it in accordance with which do process,
equal protection and Terry v. Ohio reasonable suspicion. It's okay
to protest, it's not okay to protest violently. Violence undermines
the morality that you say your movement is built upon it.

Speaker 15 (20:44):
That five year old was not being violent.

Speaker 16 (20:46):
I understand, you know, but but but protesting violently is
is not only not only undermines your movement, it's a
it's a twelveth.

Speaker 10 (21:00):
Somebody's need to get hurt.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
It is a twelfth fiece bucket of stupid. You're not
going to win violently. Now that was prior to the shooting.
Was that guy being violent? No? Was he protesting? Yes?
Are they trying to make it seem like he is
part of some coordinated effort to destroy things? Now they're

(21:23):
protesting some we've had and continue to have because we
have the freedoms here in this country to do that.
We have the freedoms in this country to go out
and to have our voice heard. We have the freedoms
actually to carry forget that right we do. We have
the freedoms to carry. And the question is did he

(21:46):
reach for his gun? Did he not reach for his gun?
I mean, they're spinning it as if he showed up,
walked straight up to everybody, drew his gun on everybody,
it was getting ready to fire. That isn't true, but again,
how you look doing it matters in this right now
does not look good.

Speaker 17 (22:04):
Denome and we had Besant and Movino all taken to
the airwaves and repeating many times an immediate conclusion without
an investigation, a conclusion that was repeated many, many, many
times on Fox News that this man was Alex pretty
was brandishing a gun and sought to inflict maximum damage

(22:29):
on ice. And to conclude immediately like that, I think
is the biggest problem here.

Speaker 18 (22:35):
Defaming the victim.

Speaker 17 (22:37):
You wonder what state and civil charges or opportunities might
come out of that action. But even more, it leads
to a bigger issue. This is the second time that
has happened in just a few weeks in Minneapolis, a
US citizen shot dead point blank range and DHS and
Border Patrol immediately blaming the victim and calling that person

(22:59):
a domestic terrorist.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
I now, do I think this guy was a domestic terrorist?

Speaker 19 (23:03):
No?

Speaker 2 (23:03):
I think he was progressive who was angry, over zealous, emotional,
put himself in a stupid position and pay the ultimate
price for it. Do I think he was a terrorist? No?
If your goal was to go shoot up a bunch of officers,
you don't carry your phone with you, wait till they

(23:24):
start beating on you. And then once they're beating your
ass and you're on the ground and you're screaming, then
you reach for your gun. If the goal was to
brandish the weapon and shoot everybody, he had ample opportunity.
He did. There's no doubt. Now they're going to spin

(23:46):
it in a lot of different ways. This isn't a
good look. How you look doing it matters in politics,
whether people want to pretend that or not, but how
you look doing it. Absolutely, And while people support the
border patrol still as well as ICE, but they don't

(24:10):
support what is going down. They don't. They don't like
the look of it. They feel like the reach is overreached.
They feel like they're seeing something that is making them
very uncomfortable. Next hour, we're going to talk about something
I think that the Republicans should do, especially at a

(24:34):
time like this where they're going to be facing some
serious issues when it comes to not only the midterms,
but a government shut down. And the Democrats are in
a really tough position because they don't have any real
power here at this moment in time. At the same time,
they know that they can't look like they're going to
go along to get along with the Republicans to avoid

(24:59):
being branded as the people who shut the government down again.

Speaker 20 (25:04):
But now Democrats are saying they think they've kind of
been forced into forcing a showdown like that all over
again to try to extend some kind of leverage over
a Trump administration they think is now unaccountable and breaking
laws and norms left and right.

Speaker 10 (25:17):
In Minnesota.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
The one thing they have going for them in this
situation is serious issues from business leaders which are pushing
President Trump as they look at this, as well as
even people inside of his own party are standing up
and saying, you know what, we got an issue here

(25:39):
that we need to address. We have an issue here
that absolutely must be addressed. We don't feel like this
is the way that you guys are explaining it. But
the business leaders will get his attention fast as anybody

(26:02):
that will get his attention that will so again, it's
a nuanced situation. Making a judgment, and a snapshot judgment
is extremely hard. Everybody understands that, for the most part,

(26:24):
nobody faults an officer when in a moment where there
is a chaos in lunacy, that there is a snap
judgment that must be made. But when you look at
this and you're seeing that guy on the ground getting beaten,
screaming that they're going to kill him, you do have

(26:47):
to have some serious questions answered. And I'm not sure
that this administration is going to do that. And when
you come out and immediately say everything was above board,
everything was perfect, everything right, everybody was in danger, and
our people did the right thing, you have some serious

(27:07):
questions that need to be answered. Because if that's the
right thing, I'd hate to think, what the hell's the
wrong thing? Let me know what you think. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show,
chr X, your Insta, your YouTube, Facebook, and more. Love
hearing from each and every single one of you. One
of the other things that we're following that I think

(27:30):
is going to be a bigger story, and I hope
it's not, but I feel it's going to be. And
we talk to our military guy, Mike Lyons tomorrow about this,
the reality of what may be coming in Iran and
the position that Trump put himself in by egging on

(27:50):
the protesters to keep doing that, keep protesting, and that
help was coming and then saying, now looks like the
killings have stopped. Now are starting to get a real
look at how many people died there and whoa a
lot more than people realized originally the death toll, I mean,

(28:13):
CBS came out one day and said the death toll
probably ten thousand people like what so far they've confirmed
six thousand. Time magazine setikutap thirty thousand, The Japanese Times
said it's going to be well into the twenties. New

(28:34):
York posts it says more than thirty six thousand, five hundred.
What I do know is there is more than just
five six thousand. That's what we do know. And now
we've got our people in the military power heading back

(28:57):
two our navy to the Middle East. Then the airspace
UAE Saudi Arabia Qatar shut down and suspended routes to
Israel and several other places Baharain, Iran as well as

(29:18):
several European nations are suspending those flights, which makes you
feel like you know that something is coming. And now
you're hearing that the Ayatola is in deep hiding and
what is that something? I go back to this when
it comes to Iran first of all, who's the leader

(29:39):
because it isn't the Shaw Sun, So who's the leader
in country that can unite them? Secondly, and I think
this is extremely important. When I talked about Trump, he
painted himself into a corner because now what do you do? Now,
what do you do? You can't. You've either strengthened him

(30:02):
or you're going to have to go through it like
you did with Maduro and try to remove it. So
it's regime change, and this one, I think is going
to be way uglier than what we saw as a
quick snatch and grab inside of Venezuela. This isn't going anywhere,

(30:23):
and I have a feeling it's going to heat up
sooner rather than later, which is unfortunate because I have
a feeling if we do some sort of snatch and grab,
some sort of mass bombing campaign inside of there, that
this time Iran is not going to call us with
the heads up that they are going to and they,
by the way, they exploited Israel's Golden Dome on more

(30:48):
than a few occasions, by the number of missiles they fired,
and they have a plenty, So yes, I think we're
going to get something sooner rather than later. And I
think it's potentially going to be ugly and God willing,
we don't cooler commerce heads prevail, But I don't know
how that's going to happen at this moment in time.

(31:13):
I think it's about to get real and I think
it's about to get real ugly fast three two, three, five, eight,

o five coming up. The monks, they're on their walk.
Where are they? How are they dealing with the cold,
because yes, they're walking through the cold, like a lot
of other people across the nation are. We'll talk a

(32:38):
bit about that, among other things. Reach out to us
across all of our social media. We love hearing from
each and every one of you. Three to two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four, twenty three. Got some calls and some text.
We're going to go through next hour as well, and
check out our YouTube. We're going to be live doing
some stuff tonight. It's been hard to do that because

(32:58):
of the rain, the sleep, the snow, but we will
be live tonight. You can see the show. Grab that
podcast Chad Benson Show, a hashtag.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
Me too, hashtag immigration reforms, hashtag help. I'm trapped in
a hashtag factory and I can't get out the Chad
Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
They're still walking, even though it's cold outside.

Speaker 21 (33:30):
As quickly as you can snatch the pebble from my hand,
when you could take the pebble from my hand, it
would be time for you to.

Speaker 2 (33:37):
Be Now, it's time for your daily Monk March update.

Speaker 10 (33:42):
Time for you to leave.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
They are on their walk. It's cold, and they're doing
their thing.

Speaker 22 (33:47):
Thousands of people. We're eager to see the monks walk
for people.

Speaker 19 (33:50):
I have been following the monks for days and just
knew that this was something that I.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
Felt like I needed to do. I'm gonna get all emotional.

Speaker 22 (33:59):
Crowds gathered ready to hear the message a peace. Temperatures
tipped into the twenties with feels like digits into the teats,
but for these dands, the message was important to hear.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
I will say the crowds in Raleigh were pretty pretty
damn amazing the amount of people that were out there
and from all over the place. It just wasn't Raleigh.
People were following them everywhere, and that's just it's great.

Speaker 23 (34:26):
You gonna take this message home and today commit the
other neighborhoods because it's everybody's night. It from Raleigh, so
there's people from everywhere.

Speaker 24 (34:33):
The monks on the ninety first day of their walk,
starting pre dawn at Apex High School, then marching through
the streets of carry with hundreds of supporters there to
witness it and take in the emotions.

Speaker 2 (34:47):
I'm gonna cry.

Speaker 7 (34:48):
I'm going to cry.

Speaker 24 (34:49):
And then this moment when they made it to Dick's Park,
braving the bitter, frigid weather.

Speaker 25 (34:54):
With all that is, everything that is happening in the
world today, it's kind of especially with this cold weather.

Speaker 10 (35:00):
It's amazing.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
It is amazing. That's a good thing. And I think
we need it. And I think the more that we
have stories like this, the better it is. And we
need some some peace and no doubt about that we do.
And I think what they're doing is awesome. And you
know it's funny. I was sitting there. My wife and
I were having a discussion the other night, and we're

(35:24):
talking about the attitudes that some people have, like, well,
how dare you talk about this? I'm like, what are
you talking about? There? They're walking for peace? Yeah, but
you're talking about it. Don't you understand? You believe in God?
I said, I do you believe me? I said, I
do believe me. Just follow our Christ And I said,
I think if he was here, I think you'd take
one look at these guys and go, you know what,

(35:45):
they're doing more for my message than you guys are.
They're putting their money where their mouth is. And they
got Long John's on, by the way, speaking of money
where your mouth is cold, indeed, Long John's on. They're
fully skull capped and everything protected as much as they
can be. And it's a great story and I think

(36:07):
we need it more now than we have in a
long time. Let me know what you think. Coming up
our number two of the program, a lot of stuff
to get you more on the weather, Minnesota, what's going
on there, A bunch of other stuff missing the show,
Grab that podcast, Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (36:22):
This is the Chad Benson Show. The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
The Great Freeze is still going on and it's not
gone just yet, but it is moving closer to being gone.
It's still gonna be cold, but what we've seen, goodness me.

Speaker 26 (37:08):
The major winter storm that re tavoc over much of
the country is finally going to be exiting the East
Coast during the day today, but not before depositing additional
snow onto New England, where many spots have had well
over foot of snow. You see by daybreak still some
snowfall in Boston, even down to New York City, some florries.
This could even consolidate into a more steady area of
snow by midday before it finally moves out by later

(37:30):
on in the afternoon.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
Yeah, it's gonna be here for a little while longer.
And it's hit everything and then some the south, the northeast,
the midwest, New Mexico, Texas got skummoshed, if you will.
And now the cold, the freezing rain, so the weather

(37:57):
moved through the cold snap that we had some freezing
and I do mean some freezing, freezing half super cold.
Weather's still going on. We're in the single digits out
here in Nashville, and the power in many places is
still hit and miss. And if you're flying, listen to

(38:19):
these numbers. Not since COVID, has there been anything else
like this numbers wise.

Speaker 27 (38:24):
But I want to take a look at these numbers
here because they're just remarkable if you take a look
at it as a whole, thirty eight percent of departures
almost half canceled nationwide, and then flight awhere eleven thousand,
four hundred and ninety two cancelations within into or.

Speaker 28 (38:41):
Out of the United States, and then twenty thousand delays.

Speaker 10 (38:45):
Just remarkable numbers.

Speaker 28 (38:46):
And according to aviation analytics firm Syrium, nearly nine thousand
US flights were canceled Sunday. Again, that's about thirty eight
percent of scheduled departures nationwide, and that number for flight
of where they put it even higher at more than
eleven thousand cancelations as well there. So right now, airports
most impacted by this include Boston, New York, Washington, Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas,

(39:11):
and Charlotte.

Speaker 10 (39:11):
Those major hobs across the country.

Speaker 28 (39:14):
Ninety one percent of The Guardian's flights canceled, JFK canceled
seventy five percent of their flights. Many of the nation's
major hubs have been hit the hardest, as I mentioned there.

Speaker 2 (39:26):
Yeah, and Dallas, Fort Worth canceled a ton of them
right DC. By the way, what was it, ninety nine
percent of the flights canceled, So there's going to be
a lot of people frustrated and stuck trying to get out.
And remember, just because you're fine where you are, if

(39:48):
your connecting flight is coming from somewhere else, the domino effect,
as you know, well, that takes place, and then we
get what we get, uh, and you may be stuck
still another day or so.

Speaker 28 (39:57):
And then this morning, Boston's Logan Airport has canceled nearly
three hundred flights that were set to.

Speaker 10 (40:03):
Take off today. And then over the weekend, New.

Speaker 28 (40:05):
York'slaguardia canceled ninety one percent of its flight.

Speaker 10 (40:08):
Again, that is just insane.

Speaker 28 (40:10):
It's the same grim's grim story in airports all over
the country, and don't travelers know it. Like Anastasia stranded
in Raleigh, Durham since Friday, who jokingly vows she'll never
fly again.

Speaker 29 (40:22):
I had a first canceled flight and they rebooked me
for this morning, and then that flight actually got put
out because the plane was decommissioned because it wasn't safe,
and I got rebooked for six PM, and then they pulled
us back in and said.

Speaker 22 (40:35):
That everything was grounded in DFW.

Speaker 28 (40:37):
I ran into somebody just before we hopped on air.
They are heading to Aruba. Their flight was still on time.
I'll put that in quotes.

Speaker 10 (40:44):
As of now. We'll see if they're able to get
out of there.

Speaker 28 (40:47):
But certainly check your flights and try to get any
sort of voucher if you can if you're stuck where
you're at.

Speaker 2 (40:52):
So I am looking at the misery map flight to
where currently we're at almost eleven hundred cancelations in three
hundred and sixty delays, and that will change. Boston. Logan
is just there's nothing. You're getting nothing, You're getting nothing
out of there you're getting I think there's one hundred
and thirty four flights and one hundred and thirty one

(41:14):
have been canceled. I'm not sure I want to hop
on that airplane if we're canceling all these things, I'm
not sure I want to jump on that thing because
it feels like you canceled the other ones for a reason,
and maybe I don't want to be in the news.
I'll stay here an extra day if that's what it takes. Meanwhile,

(41:34):
from cold to cold and awful. Obviously, big story besides
all of this over the weekend was one went down
Saturday in Minneapolis, also in the freezing cold, by the way,
fact that people are out there in that weather over
the weekend wind chills well below zero. But a horrific

(41:57):
moment that is once again causing controversy and anger here
just so a man killed. Ice of course came out

(42:19):
said look, this guy brought a gun, was gonna do damage,
and essentially he got what he got. They came out
immediately and said that the video says otherwise. Several of
the videos say otherwise, and there are plenty of videos
out there. The situation isn't getting any better on the ground.

(42:44):
I think there's a chance it could get uglier. But
as we have been talking about, here is the reality
of this situation. There is a look, there is and
we we always talk about nobody wants to see how
the sausage is made. We want the bad people gone,

(43:04):
we do. And supposedly they were serving a warrant on
a bad dude.

Speaker 8 (43:13):
Supposedly at nine oh five am the Central time, the
Department of Homeland Security law enforcement officials and officers were
conducting targeted operations in Minneapolis against an illegal alien whose
criminal history included domestic assault with intentionally inflicting bodily harm,
disorderly conduct, and driving without a valid license. An individual

(43:36):
approached US Border Patrol officers with a nine millimeter semi
automatic handgun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but
the armed suspect reacted violently.

Speaker 2 (43:49):
There was a tussle. There were several Border patrol This
was a border patrol, not an ICE agent that shot him.
So they're saying there were several shots fired. Do you
heard on top of that, he was seen in the
street earlier talking peacefully with one of the guys. He

(44:10):
seemed to want to go give some sort of aid
to two women who were pepper spray and one of
them who was pushed down. Then the tussle began. He
went to the floor, started screaming that he was going
to be killed. He was going to be killed. Put
your cameras down, stop filming, help me. He did have
a gun on him, because it is right. He has

(44:30):
a concealed carry, has every right to carry a gun.
She Christino makes it seem like dude showed up ready
to blast away a lot more nuanced than that. When
you bring a gun a certain area, yeah, could you
expect a response, yes, But one video seems to show
them taking control of the gun before shots were fired,

(44:56):
before shots were fired, and then the shots were fired
and he was killed. Alex Purtty is a nurse. Was
a nurse. I see you. Nurse obviously can't stand what's
going on very much. Progressive apparently was part of a
group that was following Ice and filming them, which is

(45:19):
not illegal. But we're here again, same city, less than
weeks from the killing of another woman.

Speaker 30 (45:30):
He cared about people deeply, and he was very upset
with what was happening in Minneapolis and throughout the United
States with Ice, as millions of other people are upset.

Speaker 2 (45:44):
That's his brother talking about how he felt about everything.
Kind of person he was.

Speaker 31 (45:50):
There's an immense amount of hope and connectedness. I've done
this a lot, and I've never seen a city come
together top to bottom to fight against something like this.
There's also anger and hopelessness, despair and disgust. We're watching
people get murdered in front of our eyes.

Speaker 2 (46:07):
Now, and we're going to break it down a little
bit more for you later on the role that Minneapolis
has to play in this, and Minnesota itself and many
other states and cities across the country who've decided that
cooperation is not what they want. They want conflict with
the federal government, and because of that, these things are

(46:32):
as it is. Two hundred million people were caught up
in some way, shape or form of this, and there
is still a you know, as we've talked about throughout
the day, and we'll talk about throughout you know, a lot,
I'm sure over the next coming days of this massive storm.
We lost power Saturday night and didn't get it on

(46:55):
officially till Sunday fourth quarter. I didn't know what the
time was. It was a fourth quarter of the Denver
Broncos Patriots game, so that's when the power came back on.
So that was that was That was it. That's I
don't know what time that was, but it was. It

(47:16):
came on like for five minutes, and then it would disappear.
It came on for five minutes and then it would
disappear and then finally kicked on. Just crazy, and I
expect it to be really, you know, one of those
weeks where it's going to continue to make a nightmare
for a lot of people, especially in the world of
commuting because of the ice, and the ice is going

(47:39):
to be bad, and then they're expecting it chance for
another storm or two throughout parts of the South. I
was listening to one of my buddies earlier today in Indie,
Tony Katz. I was just seeing what the weather was
like there, getting a sense, and Tony was making fun
of the South because, well, you know, they get they

(48:00):
get massive amounts of snow in Indie, right and the
places that are set up for it. We're not set
up for it at all. We're not We're not set
up for any kind of snow, let alone the deep
freeze that happens in places like Nashville and Dallas and
stuff like. We're just not set up for that kind

(48:22):
of of weather. And it showed no doubt about that.
Let me know what you think. Three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show. It's
your extra insta YouTube and more right here on the

Chad Senya Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (49:48):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show this weekend.

Speaker 2 (49:52):
Netflix. Some of you maybe chilled. Some of you were
chilling because there was too damn cold. Netflix didn't work
because the power was off, and some of you you
couldn't chill watching Alex Honald. If you don't know who
he is, he's a free climber and dude climbed not
just a little, a lot on Netflix, Taiwan's Type one

(50:14):
on one skyscraper sixteen and sixty seven feet. He's forty
years old, father too, got up on top. Took him
about ninety minutes to do it, took a quick selfie,
and he was the guy in two thousand and eight
who did There was a movie called Free Solo. It

(50:36):
was a documentary following his successful attempt to become the
only person ever to climb Yosemite's infamous El Capitan without rope.
You see, that's what he does. He's a free climber
and he did it again. He's done it.

Speaker 8 (50:55):
Alex Honald has made history again.

Speaker 2 (50:57):
Yeah, it's a it's weird announcing something like this, I'm
sure because you want to see him make it. But
you also understand that you're announcing something that if it
goes sideways, you're announcing somebody's death.

Speaker 31 (51:14):
To put your other hand on the thing, put your
other putting Why he's just one arm in him.

Speaker 32 (51:21):
He's shaking his hands, he's resting a little bit.

Speaker 29 (51:23):
He's putting chalk on his hands.

Speaker 2 (51:24):
That's going to absorb the sweat.

Speaker 10 (51:26):
Can you just take a step back.

Speaker 2 (51:28):
You're making me nervous.

Speaker 18 (51:29):
You like, I'll go ahead and get back on the
building started. Just hold on wreaking me out, see you
guys a little bit.

Speaker 2 (51:37):
I'm gonna keep keeping Yeah. That was a it's creepy
af just watching some of it. There's one point where
he just put his legs over something like when you're
a kid and you're on the little monkey bar and
he just kind of leaned back and he's just dangling. Uh.
It was crazy and amazing, But like I said, you

(52:00):
get one shot to make a mistake, and then there
is no turning back, especially when you get to a
certain level because there is no ropes and there is
no bouncy thing at the bottom. God bless him for that.
I didn't get to see it because you know, the weather,
which is insane let me know what you think. Three two, three, five, three, eight,

(52:22):
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benzon Show. It's
your extra insta YouTube and more. Well, all this is
going on, Trump doing his thing where he truce out
a whole bunch of stuff. Interestingly, he's a little perturbed
about the ballroom, right, it's always something. Hey, you know
what you had? All the stuff going on that ballroom's important.

Speaker 33 (52:40):
As the snow and ice were coming down, President Trump
was sounding off on last week's hearing, which a federal
judge questioned whether any president has the power to tear
down a national institution and use private donations to rebuild
it without congressional approval. The president's social media post on
Sunday afternoon, reading, there's no practical way to go back.

Speaker 2 (52:58):
It's too soon.

Speaker 33 (53:00):
Those last two words in all caps. The President said
construction materials for the White House ballroom have already been ordered,
and he called out the National Historic Trust for bringing
the lawsuit, saying stopping the building now would be quote devastating.

Speaker 2 (53:13):
Well, it's too late now.

Speaker 27 (53:15):
But.

Speaker 2 (53:16):
He didn't care. He went and did what he wanted
to do. Nobody put up any kind of fight and
He'll continue to do that until somebody tells him no
in a real way. And nobody on the Republican side
has any balls whatsoever to do that outside of maybe
a Thomas Massey. So you know, the rest of them,

(53:38):
just go along, go along to get along. Otherwise you're
in trouble. So we're going to get a new ballroom,
the Trump Ballroom. It will always be called the Trump Ballroom.
It will always be called that until somebody else comes
in and they're going to go. You know, we're gonna
rename this the Obama Ballroom. Oh my god, could you

(53:59):
imagine that he'd lose? Is coming up? Got some of
your phone calls, Take some of those. A bunch of
other good stuff all the way, including your urban word
of the day.

Speaker 34 (54:07):
This is the Chad Benson Show, then Chad Benson Show,

(54:39):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
I love it when you reach out to us, Feel
free to do so. Three two three five three eight,
twenty four twenty three at Chad Benson Show. It's your ex,
your Insta, YouTube, and more. Remember every time you the
line number I gave out three two three five three
eight Chad, you can leave a voicemail. Feel free to
do that a lot of times easier to do that,
and I get to them as fast as I possibly

(55:03):
can and.

Speaker 35 (55:04):
Io chaff Benson, Amen, I agree with you on about
seventy five percent of the stuff, but I.

Speaker 36 (55:12):
Got to keep going into work. But as far as
working together on immigration, I live in Portland, Oregon. Most
of the police departments are on a stand down by
a governor of the Mariti saying not to work with
the federal agents and turning over the illegal immigrants. Do
I believe everybody should have a right to have a

(55:33):
better life.

Speaker 35 (55:34):
Absolutely for these channels to go through. Plus, why is
it that these people that are protesting for these illegals,
especially the ones that are child pedophiles, rapists, killers, murderers, traffickers,
why do they stand in for these people when you

(55:54):
wouldn't want any of them in your life. That's all
love your show.

Speaker 2 (55:59):
Thanks first of all, thank you. Secondly, he makes a
good point point that we've been making for a while
that even the administration is starting to push more and
more as as not a narrative but a reality. Why
don't you not turn in your neighbor, right the lady

(56:22):
that you know makes to Molly's and clean some houses
and maybe babysits right, or the guy that started a
small construction company or you know, a lawnmowering company. No, no, no,
But the people that are in custody who've got orders
to be removed, why not work with them? Why not?

(56:49):
This shouldn't be a situation where it should be us
versus them, mean, the Feds versus the state. No, this
is a situation. We're's just common sense. So the federal
government DHS says there's thirteen hundred people in custody in
the jails and prisons throughout Minnesota and that they would

(57:14):
just like access. On the other side of it, Minnesota
under Walls, who runs the prison, said, hey, they have access.
There's only about three hundred and one in there. When
it comes to if you've got the you know, the
paperwork to come in there for an order to be
removed because you've recognized somebody on the list right is

(57:37):
wanted by DHS for an order to be removed. That
Minnesota saying, ah, the day before, we're letting you know
that this person's going to be released tomorrow and then
it's up to you to come and get them. It
shouldn't be this hard. It shouldn't. The reality is is

(58:01):
both sides have made it way harder that it should be.
ICE and DHS, despite what you know, some hardcore people think,
haven't covered themselves in glory and the States, right. Do
you remember when Greg Abbott originally said I'm going to
just start busting people to sanctuary states and cities, and

(58:26):
you get into New York and everywhere else and at
first they're like, you bring everybody here, and after a
while it's like it's bankrupting us. Because you were more
interested in being able to say I stand against Trump
or I stand against you know, you know, any kind
of deportation. You wanted to be that person that was
a rabbel rouser that showed, hey, look at my social

(58:49):
justice cred it's awesome. But then when the dollars started
to deplete and everybody else's money was gone, you had
issues with that. And then that puts you in a
position where you have to make choices. And you saw
that with Eric Adams and Kathy Holkle and everybody else
going okay, hold on here, we can't afford this. This

(59:11):
is not sustainable. This is not If I'm the federal government,
I'll say here's the deal. They can't vote, they cannot
receive any thing from the federal government money wise, or
you'll be cut off. If you guys want them in

(59:32):
your states and cities so bad, will allow them to
be a sanctuary there. If they step out of line,
they're gone, period, case closed, end of story, And you
must notify us for that. Otherwise you're gonna get what
you're getting. So if you want to give them housing,
if you want to give them whatever, if you want
to do, feel free to knock yourself out and do that.

(59:55):
And now if it costs you, you can't come to us.
If it ends up bankrupting your city or putting your
citizens into a position where they're frustrated and they're ready
to move on from this, that's a you problem. We've

(01:00:17):
got to address the issue. And sometimes it's giving everybody
what they want to find out, maybe that's not exactly
what we wanted. Maybe that's not exactly the thing that
we thought was going to be great. Oh so in
places like Portland, in places like New York, in places
where they said we're going to be a sanctuary, and

(01:00:39):
they already have issues with the housing costs, they already
have issues with all of these things. You put them
in that position where they're having to make choices that
conflict with their voters. You find out real quick that yeah,
it sounds good to stand on a soapbox and scream
and yell, but you're not actually stopping anything from happening.

(01:01:04):
You're just making noise. But when it lands at your
feet and then you have to put up, that changes
everything immediately. Oh oh yeah, that does, that does so
all these other places. Remember that with Greg Abbott sending

(01:01:26):
people to New York and shipping them on buses, with
eventually Desantos getting on board, and then of course a
few other governors getting on board and pushing the let's
put people on buses and send them to the places
they think, and then watch what happens. Well, watch what happens,

(01:01:46):
which is an already crowded situation. A lot of cities
that's already two damn expensive becomes even more crowded, even
more expensive, and what ends up doing is it ends
up hurting the residents who can vote. Ooh. So sometimes

(01:02:09):
maybe the best thing to do is give people what
they want to find out maybe what they want is
not exactly that they want. The thought of it is
what they want, not the reality, if that makes sense. Three, two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show, Direx,
your Insta, your YouTube, Facebook and more. Love hearing from

(01:02:31):
every single one e right here on the Chad Benson Show.
From there, we keep our eye on the weather because
nature will mess you up, you guys. Hear me always
saying that. And it's not just about the fact that
there seems to be so many damn sharks in Australia
at this moment in time that people don't even know

(01:02:51):
what to do with. But it also happens to do with,
of course, the weather here, and it is massive, and
it is big, and at times it's all so showing
off a bit one two three two.

Speaker 37 (01:03:03):
Young brothers Liam and Shane Larson were near Lake Lewisville,
north of Dallas when they spotted something dancing.

Speaker 10 (01:03:09):
Over the water. Oh, there's one.

Speaker 21 (01:03:11):
Definitely a tornado.

Speaker 37 (01:03:12):
The Larson Boys cell phone video does look like a
series of tornadoes, but meteorologists say it was actually a
phenomenon known as a steam devil, which is created when
cold air passes over a warmer body of water and
gives birth to a small and normally harmless vortex.

Speaker 2 (01:03:28):
What a steam devil. I've got to worry about a
steam devil? Now, you do? I do? I don't want
to worry about a steam devil. So how bad is
it out there? How much longer are we going to
be living through this nightmare? If you're in the eastern
part of the country.

Speaker 38 (01:03:44):
More than eleven thousand flights canceled today, already two thousand
for tomorrow. Washington's Reagan National Reporting Airlines canceled all today's
scheduled flights. The historic winter storm wreaking havoc on highways,
icee roads, causing multiple semi trucks to jack knife off
roads in Mississippi. The freezing temperatures coating power lines in

(01:04:04):
thick ice. More than one million customers without power across
the South.

Speaker 2 (01:04:09):
Yes, we were not set up for it. We were
not set up for it. That's understandable. We're not.

Speaker 35 (01:04:17):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:04:17):
It's like I used to say when I lived in
the in the hot temperature of beautiful Arizona, that roads
in other part of the country would buckle. Ours don't
why because we're set up for the heat. It's built.
Different things are built different we're not set up for
the coal, and our grid paid the price, and a

(01:04:41):
lot of it had to do not so much with
the grid itself, as it was down power lines because
of massive trees. In fact, my producer for my local
show probably won't make it in today because tree fell
on his car, but so did the power line. They
restored the power, but they didn't take the power line
with him, so we didn't know really what to do yet,

(01:05:03):
and even how bad his car is, so it's ugly.
The other thing is, if you don't have to, don't
go out and drive. And how many times do we
continue to say this over and over and over and
over and over again. If there's somebody you know that

(01:05:26):
is elderly, if there's somebody you know that maybe can't
quite get around the way they should, or living on
a budget to the point where you think they may
not turn on their power as far as their HVAC
to heat up the room, you need to check on them,

(01:05:48):
you do. There's just this, the amount of people that
have already died. Some of them there's been some sledding accidents,
but there have been several that have died from hypothermia,
and in several of thecasis. Those are people who are
who have shelter. So absolutely I must pay attention in
that situation, Okay, doing the good deed, walking over and

(01:06:13):
saying hey, okay. We checked on a couple of our
neighbors just to make sure everything was okay because the
power was out for two damn long yesterday. Missed some
of the football game. I missed Manchester United beating Arsenal.
It was just it was I was not happy, but
it was really interesting because you got to hang out

(01:06:35):
with your family, which was awesome. But the kids nowadays,
giving them a chance to be bored, if that makes sense,
because they're not anymore. There's always something if like parents
have something scheduled, even when there is no remote device anywhere,
parents have something scheduled, even if there's nothing going on

(01:06:57):
in certain place, They're still trying to get them to
do things. And I will tell you it was it
was nice. Charlie and I had a lot of fun
hanging out yesterday because we were playing games and we
were cuddled up under the like twenty blankets because the
power was out and it was so crazy how cold

(01:07:21):
the place got. I mean, we we have a nice
place and it didn't matter. It was a little weird laker.
We're in the low fifties at one point. Oh my lord,

Word of Today, Straight Ahead Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:09:01):
I like, yeah, so what it's the Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:09:13):
It may be cold outside, but it's warm in our hearts,
and we need to learn the lingo kids, right, We're
all becoming multi lingual right where we have English that
we know, some of you know Spanish and others know
several other languages. But this isn't about a country. This

(01:09:36):
is about a generation, that generation of the youth of
America and what they say, quite frankly, in many occasions,
I have no idea. No, it's time for the urban
word of the day. The young have a vocabulary all
their own and we break it down for you. It's
called the urban word of the day, all right, your

(01:09:59):
urban word of the day. Soft reset? What soft reset?
That's a quiet, yet intentional reset where you realign your mindset, habits,
and priorities without cutting people off, making announcements or causing chaos. Okay,

(01:10:21):
so let's say you had a really stressful first semester
at school. Your kid comes home. All right, they're friends,
they're frustrated, and you're like, what's going on? And they
tell you, look, I did a soft reset of journaling,
setting new boundaries, focusing on myself instead of explaining my
changes to everyone. Soft freset. Essentially, you're making changes, but

(01:10:43):
you're not making a big announcement. At work. Something may
go sideways and you're like, you know what, we need
a reset here? A soft reset is your urban word
of the day.

Speaker 1 (01:10:55):
That was the urban word of the.

Speaker 2 (01:10:57):
Day, now, you know. Always nice to know, got a
text love hearing from each and everyone of you about
me making fun of Ted Cruz. Yeah, fled Cruse nowhere
near as bad as Karen Bass, mayor of LA and
yet you make fun of him. Hell, if there was
no power of my house, I go somewhere with power

(01:11:18):
and check into a hotel. What the age was Ted
gonna do? Gonna work the power lines? Give me a break.
Ted Cruz did what a father and husband should have done.
Made sure his family was safe, form sheltered and had food.
A he did not. His kids were going on spring
Bak to go down and party. Okay, b you do

(01:11:39):
not represent a group of people unless you're a senator
a congress person, So we expect a little something else
out of them. Then we do the average person. Okay,
no problem getting your family out of there.

Speaker 4 (01:11:52):
Do it.

Speaker 2 (01:11:53):
And Karen Bass, by the way, I destroyed her for
several weeks in the handling of the fires in Los
Ange Angelus A right. I destroyed her, continue to do so.
She is useless as can be and continues to be so.
And that has not changed, nor will it change until
LA gets their head out there. Butts, they have a

(01:12:13):
lot of problems. But as far as you know, fled Cruise,
it's funny because it's real. The look was bad, and
he represents a group of people that is something. He's
not going to live it down, just like Hank Johnson
in Georgia who thought of too many people moved to
one side of the island in Guam. It was gonna

(01:12:34):
tip over. You're not living that down.

Speaker 16 (01:12:36):
Bro.

Speaker 2 (01:12:37):
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four twenty three
at Chad Benson Show, is your ex, your Insta, your YouTube,
Facebook and more? Produced some youtubing tonight. We hope it
all goes well in the power stays on. Let me
know how you're doing and if you indeed have power.
Our number three of the program is straight ahead. This
is the Chad Benton Show.

Speaker 1 (01:13:00):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:13:30):
Before we get into the weather, which outside is frightful
and you know that the mood inside, well it's cold
and Samara because no power. And we get into talking
about what happened in Minneapolis and Iran and all of
the things. Something's gonna happen soon. When it comes to
the weather, will we or won't we have Poxatani? Phil

(01:13:53):
around anymore? What it Sponsadoni.

Speaker 10 (01:13:56):
Fill every February second.

Speaker 39 (01:14:01):
If you don't know, officials in Pucksatani, Pennsylvania pull a
groundhog named Phil out of his burrow, and according to tradition,
Phil then predicts whether we'll have an early spring. It's
a huge event draws thousands of people a year, but Phil,
if you look at his eyes in particular, doesn't always
look thrilled about the attention, which is why for decades now,

(01:14:21):
PETA has been lobbying to replace Phil with, for example,
a gold coin or a vegan weather reveal cake, or
even a thirty six year old woman from Oregon who
said she'd live in Phil's burrow and livestream it. The
new suggestion is a giant three D hologram, which won
Philadelphia Inquire, a calm that's described as both adorable and terrifying.

(01:14:44):
But the governor of Pennsylvania is having none of it.
He's posted a photo of Phil with the words don't
tread on me. And if you're thinking, well, he's clearly joking,
people have reached out to his office, and the office said, quote,
he's indeed very serious about his defense of Phil.

Speaker 2 (01:15:02):
Okay, first of all, what Secondly, you're not getting rid
of Phil. First of all, you know what Phil is.
He's commerce. He's dollar bills.

Speaker 40 (01:15:16):
Yo.

Speaker 2 (01:15:17):
He has a huge part to play on the finance
side of a small city that welcomes tens of thousands
of people to see him come out of his rock

(01:15:39):
and do what deliver the weather, of which he's really
not great at it, partially because I don't think he tries.
I have to be honest. I don't know what kind
of weather forecasting system he has, but I don't think
he tries. But it's not about whether or not it's
good for the animal or not. It's about the fact
that he's money.

Speaker 35 (01:15:57):
Yo.

Speaker 2 (01:15:59):
We're not getting rid of the money. Oh, just saying that,
just putting that out there, speaking of money. Yo, yesterday, Okay,
I didn't do as good as I thought I was
gonna do. I didn't in my choices choice A or
B Patriots or Broncos. I went with the Pats. I

(01:16:27):
gotta win.

Speaker 9 (01:16:27):
May with his hands under center, drops to his knee
and that's it.

Speaker 2 (01:16:31):
The New England.

Speaker 9 (01:16:32):
Patriots are back in the Super Bowl. The Patriots win
the AFC Championship, beating the Denver Broncos ten to seven,
and a new era, Oh, Patriots football is upon us.

Speaker 2 (01:16:46):
A new era of Patriot football, Drake May and them.
The first of all, there was both teams had two opponents.
First opponent was each other, right, so taking on the
other team the second opponent. The last quarter and a
half was the unbearable crazy mini blizzard that rolled through

(01:17:12):
that made going, especially going one way, virtually impossible. But
they got it done. And when the Broncos had a
chance to tie the game, an unknown practice squad player
that was called up the day of the game, so
yesterday morning he finds out, dude, you're going to be

(01:17:35):
on the team today, blocks a field goal that would
have tied it with a few minutes left. Then, so
that's the game I got right. The other game I
did not get right, but it was a hell of
a game.

Speaker 11 (01:17:53):
Desperation for Stafford. Eight seconds left, loaded up near side
the pause. Oh my god, three seconds. He's looking on
the club that's gonna do it. The Seahawks are to
Super Bowl sixty.

Speaker 2 (01:18:10):
Super Bowl sixty, Get ready for it. Seahawks led by
Sam Darnold. Hell of a game. I just I thought
Pooka got out. I thought, okay, he gets out. There's
one second left. You never know what's gonna happen. But
it was the right call. He landed in bounds and

(01:18:31):
then fell out of bounds while being tackled. It was
the right call. I'm bummed because I you know, it's
it's a weird situation for me because I'm a huge
Patriots fan. And the reason why is because when I
was a kid, the Rams broke my heart and they left.

(01:18:53):
So I'm like, I'm choosing a new team, and I
didn't like the Raiders, so where with the Ram? I
went with the Patriots. And the Patriots at the time
didn't have Tom Brady, right, they weren't anything special, and
away they went, and then they exploded and you're like, oh, now,
everalthy thinks no, but I always Then the Rams came home,
and I'm like, ah, I love the Rams again because

(01:19:15):
they did they busted my heart. When I was again,
I was like, damn you guys, but they're back. But
they didn't get it done yesterday Sam Donald, it was amazing.
They they did everything they had to do, and rightfully
they're winners. So I will give you as we get closer,
I'm going to give you the breakdown of who I

(01:19:36):
think is going to win it as we get closer.
Although it's tough, man. When I look at Seattle, it's.

Speaker 16 (01:19:42):
A tough.

Speaker 2 (01:19:44):
That defense is sick, sick, and they're young, for God's sake,
young three two, three, five, three eight twenty four to
twenty three at Chad Menson Show. Is your exture instead
YouTube and more love hearing from all of you. Meanwhile,
nasty out there, ugly out there. The the weather is frightful,
to say the.

Speaker 37 (01:20:03):
Least, even in normally mild Conrod, Texas, just north of Houston.

Speaker 25 (01:20:08):
Our goal is to become an emergency shelter in emergency
situations like this.

Speaker 37 (01:20:11):
Pastor Jerry Vineyard has opened the doors of his church
to anyone needing shelter from the sub freezing temperatures.

Speaker 35 (01:20:17):
We have a medical clinic on site, laundry showers, the
whole gamut.

Speaker 37 (01:20:21):
He says that about sixty people stayed inside the church
sanctuary over the weekend, which is.

Speaker 2 (01:20:26):
Great to hear. You had several deaths throughout the East
Coast into the South as well. The weather is going
to be moving out for the severe side of things
in the South, but the South is still well. It's
got issues including dare I say this, flights that's up
and down the South and parts of the Midwest. Flights

(01:20:49):
are don't even think about it like you're going to
the airport right now. Good luck, absolutely good luck, And
it may take some days.

Speaker 18 (01:20:57):
When something this big happens.

Speaker 40 (01:20:59):
You can't just fly a switch to get the system
going again. You actually have to get cruised back in place,
you have to get planes back in place.

Speaker 18 (01:21:05):
So it's going to take some time to recover.

Speaker 40 (01:21:07):
In fact, I know someone who is supposed to travel
out today now they can't fly until Thursday.

Speaker 18 (01:21:12):
So we're looking at days of issues.

Speaker 2 (01:21:14):
Here, days of issues, and the amount of canceled flights
is insane.

Speaker 40 (01:21:20):
Around sixty percent of flights scheduled to depart from Boston
Logan Airport today have been canceled because of the storm.
Airlines canceling more than eleven thousand flights. Sunday one of
the worst days in US aviation history.

Speaker 2 (01:21:33):
I mean not so, I think COVID. Not since COVID
have we seen something like this, and obviously nine to eleven.
But this was just weather, and weather does weathery things.
So and the thing is that's different, remember the whole
new the thing with you know, well, if I'm delayed

(01:21:54):
or I miss my flight, I get a voucher to stay.
That's if if it was the airline that overbooked or
did something. If it's nature, as we all know that
can mess you up, that is not the same thing.
And so a lot of people are just stuck living
in the airports, just not a lot going on. You're there,

(01:22:18):
just enjoy the airport. You're gonna be here for a
few days. Hope you like Boston. Oh jeez, wh wouldn't
like Boston? Yankee fans? That's who? And the chaos of Minneapolis.
We've been talking about it all day. Am I thrilled
by the look?

Speaker 19 (01:22:33):
Now?

Speaker 2 (01:22:33):
Do I think that this chaos could have been avoided
decades ago but wasn't because both sides played games? Absolutely?
Do I think for a moment that either side is
going to let this go.

Speaker 16 (01:22:49):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:22:50):
But I do know this that several people around the
administration have told me that Trump is not thrilled by
the look. And I think you guys understand that. I mean,
the goal is to deport as many as possible, but
let's start with the bat Ones. The reality is it's

(01:23:13):
a wide swath of people that they're going after. And
because we have idiots running cities whose goal is to
apparently do everything they can to protect everybody, regardless of
how bad you are. This is the position we have
ourselves in and it's not going to change anytime soon.

(01:23:35):
It's going to continue to be quite a talking point
moving forward. But the more that this happens, and you
can mark my word, it's something like, this is going
to happen again because we have two sides now that
are smashing into each other, using them for a myriad
of reasons, including to show how strong they are in immigration,
the other side to show how strong they are to

(01:23:56):
fight immigration. And we can go on and on. This
is going to continue to happen and there will be more.
There will be more. But does it solve anything. No,
because either side right, the writer left, they're not interested
at this moment in time in solving these problems. Politics
is politics, and that doesn't change. I will say this

(01:24:18):
over and over again. Once abortion went away, which was
a big money maker, a big driver at the federal level,
they pivoted to immigration. And this is what we have.
And when you listen to first of all, Pam Bondi

(01:24:38):
has conditions for everybody to pull out, including getting the
voter rules, so as they still tried to talk about
all of the things and how they're cheating and whatnot,
and then you've got the likes of John Cornyn and
several others saying, well, you know, if it's so dangerous
for us, we should pull out because we don't want
them to get hurt. What they're really saying is this
isn't a good look. This is going to cost us.

(01:24:59):
So let's pivot. Let me know what you think. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson
Show is your acts, your Insta, YouTube and more. This
is the Chad Benson Show coming up little what's trending?
Straight ahead? But first, prize picks. We were just talking
about the big game. Let me tell you something about
prize picks and why it's amazing. Okay, first, it is

(01:25:20):
America's number one fantasy sports app. Secondly, you're picking more
or less based on projected stats of players. You know
the games. You already do this, so why not take
the opportunity to make some money. You went up two
thousand times for money, right, Two or more players make
a lineup. So how does that work? Simple? Choose your
players more or less based on the projected stats. Say

(01:25:42):
the max discount last week, so yesterday was Sam Darnold
more or less one yard passing. Then you choose another
player and it could be from any sport. So what's
great about prize picks. Right now's your chance to take
advantage of fifty dollars in free lineup when you use
my code Chad. So download the app today. Use my

(01:26:03):
code Chad to get fifty dollars in free lineups when

Now it's time to find out what's trending. What's trending?

Speaker 41 (01:26:34):
Signed James Dean, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Russia, Sera.

Speaker 32 (01:26:54):
What truping?

Speaker 2 (01:26:59):
It's fine? I was treading on this frozen Monday. I
think it's the best way to describe that numb more
trading thing right now. Super Bowl we know who will
be in it, Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots. Both
games were interesting in their own way. There's no doubt
that the drama and excitement in Seattle was amazing. The

(01:27:26):
drama and the weather played a huge role in Denver,
especially the last quarter and a half. Donald Trump will
skip the Super Bowl because bad plenty and green to
air in it, and he don't like them blades Brown
eighteen year old golfer almost shot at fifty nine the

(01:27:50):
other day PGA Tour and finished quite well, not bad,
nineteen hundred for the week. Struggled a bit yesterday, but
that's what happens when you're playing with Scotti Scheffer, who,
by the way, also trending because he won them. One
trending thing with Google Ram Seahawks, Super Bowl twenty six.
School closings, school clothes everywhere. By the way, school closing

(01:28:13):
is just all over many many places. Raptors, thunder Mavericks, Bucks,
shooting in Minnesota, TikTok outages, Nashville, Oh, Nashville, I want weather.

(01:28:34):
Finally over to the magical world of X. NFL Super Bowl. Seahawks, Patriots,
Sean McVay, Border Patrol, Christy No, we go on and

(01:28:54):
on about that. Oh my lord, just insane, isn't it.
Sean Payton, Jared Stidham, Patty the Batty didn't win the
other night, arsenal Man United, all things trending in the
magical world of.

Speaker 7 (01:29:10):
X.

Speaker 2 (01:29:13):
It's chaos, man, It's just chaos. Is chaos? Maybe you
know what I'm saying. It's chaos. Three two, three five,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Is
Your Extra and so YouTube, Facebook and more Radio in
The Chad Benson Show. A lot of stuff still to
get to and yes, we are going to talk about Minnesota.

(01:29:34):
We are going to talk about what took place. I
think we need to have a more nuanced conversation, which
is what I believe is necessary at a time like this.
It's hard because people don't like having nuanced conversations anymore.
They enjoy the screaming, the yelling, the fighting, and I'm

(01:29:56):
not going to do that. I want to have a
real conversation. I think everybody's got a part to play
in it. But there's no doubt that what took place
on Saturday was awful, and I mean it is not
a good look. Not only did a person die, but
once again another black guy for this administration and one

(01:30:21):
that I know Donald Trump is not thrilled with at
this moment in time. Let me know what you think.
Three two, three, five, three, eight, four twenty three at
Chad Benson Show, is Your Acture, Instant, YouTube and more.
This is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 14 (01:30:49):
Son, Chad Benson.

Speaker 1 (01:30:51):
Show, The Chad Benson Show, nightmare.

Speaker 2 (01:31:19):
Best way to describe it. A tragedy. Absolutely? Is it
something that could have been avoided? I say yes. But
does it look awful? Absolutely? The killing of this thirty

(01:31:41):
eight year old ICEEU nurse who is protesting. Is it murder? No,
it's not murder. But is in competence? Is it bad training?
Is it a fear and knee jerk reaction? We can
get into a lot of different things here. And I'm

(01:32:01):
not here to demonize Border Patrol because it was a
Bord Patrol agent. And I'm out here to demonize DHS
and I'm not here to demonize as the administration has done.
This guy who brought a gun, Well, he brought a gun.

(01:32:22):
Of course you can't. It's his right, that's his right.
He's an American. That is his right to bring a gun.
That is his right to carry a gun. That is
his right as an American. He had a concealed carry.
Now the combating narratives are taking place. Like I said,

(01:32:45):
do I think that he was pulling his gun? I
do not. Do I understand a split second, eight people around,
people screaming, people blowing whistles, filming people close by. He's resisting,
He's screaming they're gonna kill me, They're gonna kill me,

(01:33:06):
you know, hands everywhere, and somebody sees a gun. Yeah,
I could see how that could take place. Absolutely, But Chad,

(01:33:29):
he brought a gun. And tell me why that's wrong. Well,
he shouldn't have brought a gun. But did he brandish
his gun? Now the narrative, amongst the likes of Christineoman whatnot,
is he brought a gun, and he took his gun
out and he was going to use it, which I
find to be hilarious.

Speaker 8 (01:33:51):
At nine o five am the Central time, the Department
of Homeland Security law enforcement officials and officers were conducting
targeted operations in Minneapolis against an illegal alien whose criminal
history included domestic assault with intentionally inflicting bodily harm, disorderly conduct,
and driving without a valid license. An individual approached US

(01:34:14):
Border Patrol officers with a nine millimeter semi automatic handgun.
The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed
suspect reacted violently.

Speaker 2 (01:34:24):
Now that's not true. He did not approach them with
a nine millimeter handgun right there. He didn't. And you
can see that he had his camera out, well, his
phone it's a camera and he's holding it and then
they get into the scuffle. He did not approach them

(01:34:47):
with his gun out. That did not happen. That is
not true. It is absolutely not true. Again, there's nuance
in today's world. We don't want nuance in today's world.
We want black, we want white. We want it simple
period case clothes. There's nuance, and we're going to get

(01:35:09):
to the facts of that.

Speaker 42 (01:35:10):
Well, you said yesterday that this looks like a situation
where the individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre
law enforcement. What evidence do you have that he wanted
to massacre law enforcement because all the videos that we have,
and I do want to we just have a still
shot up now, but I do control room want to
play one of the other videos. Let's play video number

(01:35:32):
one again. It doesn't look anything like he's trying to
massacre law enforcement. In fact, he was filming and then
it looked like he was trying to help another individual
there who was pushed down by law enforcement and then
they went after him.

Speaker 43 (01:35:46):
In fact, I believe that the fantastic training that how
our law enforcement partners have, the fact that they're highly trained,
prevented any specific shootings of law enforcement. So good job
for our law enforce in taking him down before he
was able to do.

Speaker 2 (01:36:03):
That, able to do what, well, he was going to
kill a bunch of people? How do you know that?
Why would he film stuff, help some ladies up and
not take his gun out earlier and shoot a bunch
of people. If that's indeed what you thought he was
gonna do, why not? So he continues on with Dana
Bash as they argue back and forth.

Speaker 43 (01:36:25):
And again, Dana, let's look at why he was there
in the first place. Was he simply walking by and
just happened to walk into a law enforcement situation and
try to direct traffic and stand in the middle of
the road and then assault, delay and obstruct law enforcement?
Or was he there for a reason? Did he fall

(01:36:46):
victim to that violent and he did? Rhetoric by a
mayor Fry, a governor Waltz. Look, Danna, there they're trying
to portray board of an allegiance and Ice agents as Gestapo,
Nazi and many other words. Did this individual fall victim
as many others have.

Speaker 2 (01:37:06):
So you're spending the story and yes, people do do that,
and they're idiotic for doing so. And then they get
caught up and it becomes emotional. It's asinine and it's stupid.
You're portraying it as dude showed up, took out his
gun heroically, you guys jumped upon him. Sorry, I'm not

(01:37:28):
buying that part of it. I'm not I'm not buying
any part of that. What I am saying, though, is
you guys have some serious issues because there has been
more than a few occasions where not just the shootings,

(01:37:51):
but other things have happened, and you're not looking the
part that you want to look. Trump understands that. By
the way, Trump is said to be furious about this
because the look, again, I'm not blaming the officer in
the chaos for thinking he spotted something, and I'm not

(01:38:15):
blaming him for that. What I am saying is this
is not the first issue. This will not be the
last issue. And the way that you spin it from
jump is gaslight everybody into thinking that somehow this guy

(01:38:37):
showed up to kill a bunch of people. I don't
buy it. I don't think America is buying it. I
don't even think Independence and some Republicans are buying it
and then coming out and saying, well, he's got a gun.
I've been sent fifteen or twenty memes about how awesome
it was to shoot this guy and why was he

(01:38:59):
bringing a gun anywhere? And I'm thinking, what about rittenhouse?
Why did he bring a gun? Well, it was different.
Why was it different? He was there to protect something.
Is that his job? He's a hero.

Speaker 32 (01:39:15):
Republican Congressman Thomas Massey posting carrying a firearm is not
a death sentence. It's a constitutionally protected, god given right.
The NRA, even speaking out posting responsible public voices should
be awaiting a full investigation, not making generalizations and demonizing
law abiding citizens.

Speaker 2 (01:39:32):
Of which this guy was. Well, Chatty was anti Ice,
and you were anti twenty twenty election because you thought
it was stolen, and you were anti mask wearing and government,

(01:39:56):
and you were anti your state government in a lot
of places. So let's just settle down with this again,
the nuance. It's tough because a person lost his life,
and we are going to, unfortunately turn this into the

(01:40:18):
latest something until something else happens in the next few days.
Remember you had Renee Good that was shot, then you
had the little five year old boy and look at this,
and then you had what took place with this guy now,
and I'm sure by Thursday something else will have happened.
It may not even be anything that has to do
with this, because it's moves at one hundred miles an hour.
And I continue to talk about Iran and what potentially

(01:40:39):
may happen there because I have no idea what is
going on with that. I just have a sense that
there's going to be something coming in the next few
days that is going to be god knows what attack.
I have no idea. We've moved them, you know, portions

(01:40:59):
of are what we had moved to the Caribbean, back
over to the Middle East and now where what. All
of these nations that are in and around Iran have
canceled their flights and certain areas they will not go now.
Europeans are doing the same. Israel has done the same.

(01:41:22):
The Iranians are trying to figure out how to bury
their loved ones. How many of them have died, I
don't know. It depends on where you look. It's over
five thousand. I know that anywhere from twenty to thirty
six and a half thousand is what I've seen, from
Time Magazine to the New York Post to the Japanese

(01:41:44):
Times to many of these other So and remember Trump
promised he was going to do something, said help was coming,
keep doing what you're doing, and then said he they
said they're not killing anybody Moore. So he backed down
off that. And now it looks like it's ramping up again.
And I go back to this, what exactly are we

(01:42:06):
going to see happen? Just in case it does happen.
It's easy to go in in some ways and grab Maduro. Right,
they are not loaded for bear in their military. And
while the Chinese and a few you know Iran and
maybe have given him some stuff, the fact is that
they had nothing that was going to be able to
stop anything that we had. Plus the people surrounding him

(01:42:32):
weren't the best, and there was a fifty million dollar
price on his head. So maybe, just maybe there were
people inside that were totally fine with what was going on.
On the other side of it. Though, when it comes
to Iran is we don't know where he's at because
he's now hiding and I'm sure Masad's doing everything they can.
They have no leader inside of Iran of any power

(01:42:59):
that in anybody would trust. So if the thought process
is we're going to regime change them. How does that
even work when you have nobody there because you're not
gonna put the Shaw's sun back in. He hasn't been
there since it was like fifteen or sixteen. So I
have no idea what this looks like. But do I

(01:43:19):
think it's going to happen. Yeah, I think I think
at some point it happened, maybe this week, maybe the
next week or two, that something is going to happen.
I think that is a distinct possibility. So it's unfortunate
but true. Let me know what you think. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three atch Had Benson Show.
It's your ex, your Insta, your YouTube, Facebook and more
love hearing from all of you. Relief factor is incredible.

(01:43:43):
And let me tell you something about relief factor. I
take it every single day. So's my wife and I've
talked about this before. It's given her newly sun life.
She has perimenopause and she struggles with inflammation in a
very bad way. At times. It gets to the point
where she you know, she's just she's down and out
for a day or two. And with my little set
year old ay, she won't give you any time. She
started taking Relief Factor months ago and it has changed

(01:44:06):
her life. She feels a thousand times better. She's more
mobile than she's been. Her aches and pains and her
joints and muscles has subsided, and that is incredible. So
what is it? It is naturally could take it every
single day, and it focuses on the pathways that deal
with inflammation and your joints and your muscles. It's got resveratrol.

(01:44:28):
We'll make a three fatty acid. So many amazing things,
and I swear by it, and so does she. I
want you to try a three week quick start. It
is nineteen ninety five. Let's sen a cup of coffee
a day. You will not be disappointed. How do you
get it? You got to relief Factor dot Com. That's

hundred to number four Relief for Relief Factor. All right,

(01:44:50):
coming up, we're gonna wrap it up straight ahead. This
is the Chad Benson.

Speaker 7 (01:44:53):
Show, Deep States, No Deep doo doo eh, the Chat
Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:45:08):
As we wrap up this show on this Monday, and
it has been kind of a hard show, right obviously,
the weather, it's nasty out there. You guys still be safe.
I continue to tell you guys that. And of course
it took place in Minneapolis's there's a lot of stuff
I wanted to do. Was fun. But if the focus
where the focus is the weather and what took place
in Minneapolis, and the arguments, the battles and the horrors

(01:45:30):
that we are seeing definitely need to be addressed. So
that's why we finish on a good, something that makes
us smile, something that makes us feel good. And nothing
right now is as good as a story as the monks.
You know, the monks, my marching monks. Let's get to.

Speaker 21 (01:45:46):
It as quickly as you can snack the pebble from
my hand. When you could take the pebble from my hand,
it would be time for you.

Speaker 2 (01:45:53):
To be Now, it's time for your daily Monk march update.

Speaker 21 (01:45:58):
Time for you to leave.

Speaker 2 (01:46:00):
They are on their walk, it's cold, and they're doing
their thing.

Speaker 22 (01:46:03):
Thousands of people were eager to see the monks walk
for people.

Speaker 19 (01:46:07):
I have been following the monks for days and just
knew that this was something that I felt like I
needed to do.

Speaker 2 (01:46:13):
I'm gonna get all emotional.

Speaker 22 (01:46:15):
Crowds gathered ready to hear the message a peace. Temperatures
stipped into the twenties with feels like digits into the teats,
but for these dands, the message was important to hear.

Speaker 2 (01:46:26):
I will say the crowds in Raleigh were pretty pretty
damn amazing the amount of people that were out there
and from all over the place. It just wasn't Raleigh.
People were following them everywhere, and that's just it's great.

Speaker 23 (01:46:42):
Gonna take this message home and today community o the
neighborhoods because it's everybody's night. It from Raleigh, so there's
people from everywhere.

Speaker 24 (01:46:50):
The monks on the ninety first day of their walk,
starting pre dawn at Apex High School, then marching through
the streets of Carrie with supporters, they're to witness it
and take in the emotion.

Speaker 10 (01:47:03):
Share I'm gonna cry, I'm gonna cry.

Speaker 24 (01:47:05):
And then this moment when they made it to Dick's Park,
braving the bitter, frigid weather.

Speaker 25 (01:47:10):
With all that is, everything that is happening in the
world today, it's kind of especially with this cold weather,
it's it's amazing.

Speaker 2 (01:47:17):
It is amazing. That's a good thing and I think
we need it, and I think the more that we
have stories like this, the better it is. And we
need some some peace and no doubt about that, we do.
And I think what they're doing is awesome. And you
know it's funny. I was sitting there, My wife and
I were having a discussion the other night, and we're

(01:47:39):
talking about the attitudes that some people have, like, well,
how how dare you talk about this? I'm like, what
are you talking about? They're they're walking for peace. Yeah,
but you're talking about it. Don't you understand? You believe
in God? I said, I do you believe me? I said,
I do believe me. Just follow our Christ. And I said,
I think if he was here, I think you'd take
one look at these guys and go, you know what,
they're doing more for my message than you guys are.

(01:48:03):
They're putting their money where their mouth is. Then they
got Long Johns On, by the way, so we can
have money where your mouth is cold. Indeed, Long John's on.
They're fully skull capped and everything protected as much as
they can be. And it's a great story and I
think we need it more now than we have in
a long time. We do, we do, and I'm glad

(01:48:25):
we have them and We're going to be following them
as they left Raleigh and they're on their way continuing
to DC. And this is going to be interesting when
they get to d C. I want to see what
it's going to be like the last several days of
their walk. Are they going to start to pick up
people that are going to follow them? And as they
follow them, are they going to stay with them to

(01:48:47):
the point where when they arrive at DC are we
going to see you know, tens of thousands of people
that have made the trek to see them, but tens
of thousands that follow them. It might be it. Let
me know what you think. Three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show. It's your ex,
your Insta, your YouTube and more. Let me tell you something.

(01:49:09):
I'm gonna be live tonight on YouTube right around seven
o'clock Eastern. You guys, have a blessed and amazing rest
of your day. Keep yourself form, keep yourself safe. If

night Jack.
